The deceased was unmarried and had been serving the company as a brakeman for about ten years. He lived at L'olo. Next Monday night occurs the regular meeting of the city council, when the question of who will be the next City Marshal will probably be settled.

The City Clerk will submit his annual report, and some definite action will probably bo taken on the sewerage question and the proposed public park. No doubt the session will be a very interesting one. The Mt. Can-oil Herald says: U. Baird has removed his saloon and billiard outfit I to Freeport, where he will go into business." We will bet a dollar to a cookey that Baird will not go into the saloon business iu Freeport, for the simple reason that he will not be granted a license.

Freeport has enough saloons now, and to spare. The city is not a hopper for the scum of the surrounding towns to jump into. Saloon keepers who get froze, out in other towns need not think that they can open up business in Freeport. They will get left. Some horses in this section have been afflicted with a very peculiar disease called azoturia, which comes on very suddenly.

The record of the cars of each train will be kept by tiie conductors. The order was wholly unexpected aud throws six or eight men out of employment at this place. James McCarly, Ihe aged father of Paddy McCarty, lodged complaint against the latter at police headquarters last night. He said that Paddy was pulling his poor old BiotUor around the house by the hair, and he interfered, when his son slruck him a blow in the eye. He thinks the proper place for Paddy would be in the county jail.

He understood thai Sheriff Timuis was a "big mon," and would be able to knock his son Paddy out in one round if he did not behave.

A FEW UEMAUKH OK THE UMPOHTANT QUESTION or rs THIS IIBHT HIND OK MATERIAL TO'WK? There seems to be desire among our people to have better paved streets. It costs motley to pave streets as they should be paved, and there are many different views as regards the material to be used, but it in to be hoped lhal some definite line of hcUon will bo decided upon Ihe present season.

The paving of a street should out-last two generation)), if not Ihree, where a poor pavement will not last a decade of years. There is some talk of paving with wood, which we think should well considered by our ci before they seriously contemplate its adoption. As is generally known, a wood pavement slands upon a plank foundation, and the din-ability of Ihe plank has everything lo do wilh the smoothness of the surface of the pavement, therefore the quality of the'plank selected for this use should be of the best. Our city is young yet in all kinds of improvements, among which may bo named water works and sewerage. If our streets should be laid with wooden pavements, there would be much complaint if property-ownern along the streets should cut through the wooden pavement and plank foundation to make water or sewer connections.

With a vast amount of connections of this kind, which are to ho made upon all streets, one can readily see what the aclual condition of a wooden pavement would bo three yours hence. From actual observation it is a conceded fact that a wooden pavement goes into a decay and uneven surface in aboTuTflix years utter It is laid. It has two merits only, being noiseless and cheap, and a first class material, if selected for ils construction, is not so cheap after all. Of course a stone pavement is the best for durability and wear, and a good stone pavement Ctin be laid for the same price as a wood pavement. It has great disadvantage of making a noisy Tlio most popular pavement in the suburbs of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, St.

Louis and Chicago, is the macadamized street. Its advantages are cheapness, durability, greater solidity with age, easy to keep clean as a paved street, and does not wash from rains as a graded street does, but it must be prop- eriy built. Wo have never had in Freeport a street properly made of this material. There are throe essentials necessary to secure a good pavement of this kind. First, a roller weighing not loss than Ihrqp tons, the surface of the ground well prepared for the macadam, and the macadam properly graded in size and rolled as it is laid on the street.

Then in the spring and fall, wherever humps and hollows occur, the surfaces should be loosened with a pick the humps raked off and hollows filled with loose macadam. The expense of doing this work is slight and in a few years the street becomes even aud firm on its surface and as pleasant to ride over as anyasphallum pavement. The material for making pavement of this kind is cheap, and if some of our streets could be improved with macadam pavement, it is quite certain that the area would steadily increase from year to year. We have men in the council who are willing to improve the streets, if they have the hearty co-operation of property owners. It is not pleasant for a man to strive for improvements of any kind and receive from his constituents curses instead of thanks.

It has also been suggested that some of our streets in the business portion be laid with the asphaltum or concrete pavement, but it is not thought such pavements are practicable in this latitude. They have been laid in Chicago and elsewhere in the Northwest, but the frost soon worked their destruction. One great step toward securing a desirable street, is to grade it properly and let the water run off. Many of our citizens already see the good results of work of this kind done. Where Home portions of the streets are sandy soil, the surface the street is very smooth, if properly drained.

If clay streets and well drained, a covering of a few inches of sand that can bo easily obtained will make a good surface to them. Another which we wish to call attention, is that we have citizens who care so little for appearance of streets in front of their premises that they make it a dumping ground for ashes. There is hardly to-day a street in the city which has not got a half- dozen or more ash heaps on it. Those should be promptly removed. THE FIFTEENTH BEUNION.

Miss Willard was bitterly opposed by the Chicago delegation, when she was nominated here, who wanted the honor for a Chicago man. They will doubtless rejoice at her discomforture.

She proved by her really marvel- lous violin playing on that occasion that she possesses the mental grasp and the technical execution of an artist.

S. F. Weyburn, President of the Rockford Y. M. C.

writes the following article in regard to the erection of Y. M. C. buildings: hi tliis day of progress there is one thing that must claim thj) altenlion of Ihe public, and Ihat is the wonderful growth of the Young Men's Christian Associations of this country during the last decade. The time was when the Y.

M. C. A. meant small room off from some public street, made as inviting as means would allow, where young men of the churches could congregate and invite young men from the street and from the saloons, and throw around them an influence for good. That effort in a very short time began to bring forth good results, aud show the need of just thai kind of work among the young men that the churches had neglected so long, and could not do, because they were nol open every night, and were not in the centres of our cities where young men congregate.

The work grew and grew on unlil there was a demand for paid secretaries, and until nearly every association of usefulness had a man in Ihe Held who could give his whole lime lo Ihe work. With these secretaries the association has taken a long stride, and has become of great importance in every prosperous city. Rooms for the work became limited, buildings were required until today there are over 11G associalion buildings in Ihe land, valued at nearly $5.000,000. Look at the list lor a moment: Schenectady, N. wilh a populalion of 14,000 has a building worth Poughkeepsie, N.

with a population of 21,000, has a building worth Springfield, 111., with a population of 30,000 has a building worth Racine, with a population of 22,000 has a building worth Wichita, with a population of 34,000 has a building worth $50,000. Wichita, a dozen years ago was one of the hardest places in Kansas, now a city of wonderful growth of churches'aud schools and a magnificent Y. M. C. A.

building costing $50,000. In looking over their subscription list, we note that four persons gave $5,500 each, nine gave $1,000 each, In speaking of this, we are reminded of the gift of that noble, generous woman in Moline who gave $6,000 towards a building, and Unally gave a lot in the center of the city valued at $8,000, making $14,000 in all. We might go on ad libertum giving names of people in other cities who have given as large, if not larger, amounts towards Ihose buildings. In referring lo the Rockford building, the writer says: Our own city is not lacking in generous citizens and public-spirited women. We take pride in the original gift of a lot aud subscription to our ow magnificent Y.

M. C. A. building made by Mrs. Penfield, and of generous subscriptions made by other parties.

Every citizen should feel proud of the erection of such a grand building in our midst as that proposed by our Y. M. C. A. The cost of said building will be not less than $35,000, and we are glad thai Ihe young men are meeting wilh such responses to their appeals.

They ought to be encouraged in this work. The business men's association should be glad to push it, and our wealthy citizens should see lo it that it lacks nothing to complete and thoroughly equip it for the purpose for which it is started. We hope soon to see Freeport recorded among the enterpriping cities that have erected Y. M. C.

A. buildings. The gentlemen who have the mailer in charge are very hopeful, and believe that the building may yet be erected this season.

A. C. Ortnieior, ono of the employes of the German Insurance Oftlce, has oillciated. as organist of the Reformed Church for a long time. He is a good worker in the church, and none recognize his true worth more than its members.

Friday was the anniversary of Mr. Ortmeier's birth, and his friends thought the occasion ought to be fittingly observed, and they also thought that his faithful services as organist should also receive some substantial recognition from them. So a handsome gold watch and chain was purchased by the members of the be presented to their esteemed friend as a slight token of their appreciation of his services and their estimation as a friend and neighbor. The happy party gathered at the Ortmoior residence last evening and found that gentleman busily engaged in taking down a stove. The surprise was complete as far as he was concerned, but his good wife had been let into the secret, and she was prepared for the guests.

Mr. Ortuieier was visibly affected when the handsome gold watcli and chain were presented to him, and he could not find words to express his gratitude. He also received a number of other handsome gifts. The evening was spent in a very happy manner, and it was indeed a joyous occasion. Mrs.

Ortmeier hud prepared excellent refreshments for the event, and ttiey were appreciated by the guests. The presentation of the gold watch was a neat compliment to a worthy man, for Mr. Ortmeier is a gentleman who is in every way worthy of the high esteem in which he is held by his many friends. Among the guests present were: Misses iTantiii Maggie Tnipp, Louise Schroeder, Minnie Nolt, Clara Viekert, Mary Jansy, Emma Jansy, Tiljio Janett ami Miss Mitzel; Messrs Hugo llalbe, Charley Lovieij, Charley Bier, Charley Siefei't, Charlie lvalue, Otto Levieu.

Carlwrighl, the legal luminary of Ogle, who desires to don the judicial ermine, and who will receive the vote to the Winnnebago delegates, was in the city yesterday. Politics? Bless you, no. The captain was here to see a flue colt which Dan Carney is raising for him out at his horse farm, and he didn't have any time to talk about his candidacy.

He loves good horseflesh, is a good Methodist and would make a good judge, the only danger being that if there was a horse race in town he would want awfully to adjourn court for the time being. The captain is in flne form aud is making a fast race for the judgeship, and his trainers think that he will come under the wire a winner, if he does not distance his competitors, and they chum that there won't be any crooked legal jockeying with the captain as a starter. 3000 FT Of mouldings, in all the latest styles at the Private Deposit Vaults of the German Batik.
